Boxing enthusiasts can finally mark their calendars again, as the highly-anticipated fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson has been rescheduled. Originally set for July 20, 2024, the bout was postponed due to Tyson’s health issues, specifically an ulcer flare-up. This delay disappointed many fans who were eager to see the YouTube star face off against the legendary heavyweight champion. However, both fighters and Netflix have confirmed a new date: November 15, 2024.
The fight, to be held at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, promises to be a monumental event. Paul, brimming with confidence, took to social media to share the news, posting a promotional image of himself and Tyson with the caption, “New date, same place, same fate.” The fight will still be streamed live on Netflix, allowing a global audience to tune in and witness the clash between the brash social media personality and the seasoned boxing icon.

Known as “the baddest man on the planet,” Tyson’s legacy in the ring includes some of the most memorable knockouts in boxing history. Despite the health setback, Tyson remains a fierce competitor, ready to defend his title as one of the sport’s greats.
